Tarantulas and Spiders

[Mike41793]

Who needs strip poker when there's better excuses, like group T handling?!

Also, I feel like ppl might get the wrong idea if I show them T unboxing vids, following that advice.

We can unbox together as a group so it isn't awkward. You can be rough with my package but be careful of the fragile T's.

Just re house my biggest p.regalis. Still couldn't tell if it's a he or a she but fingers crosses! Also added a p.miranda sling to the collection today. Too fast to take a good picture though

Omg...your p.regalis is GORGEOUS!!! Hope for you its a female

I've been busy! Visited Ana at Netbug and got some new T's. I'm not keeping all of them though. Some are a gift and some are going to damon. Ana was very nice and a wealth of information! Learned a ton in just the half hour or so i talked to her. She cares a lot about her spiders and it really shows. Looking forward to doing business with her again.

New ones first. Blue fangs and Emerald skeletons. These guys all have pink legs and iridescent butts, they're pretty cool:





P. cambridgei for damon. HAD to have 3 because he's more OCD than Monk :p


Munching on a roach:



This vagans is going to him too. If it ends up female she'll come back to me (i sorta hope its a girl haha) but if its a male then damons friend will use him to sex up the lady vagans! I'll be happy with either outcome bc if it was a male i'd be sending him away anyways, glad that he'd at least be going to someone good!
Hes eating a roach




C. meridionalis. This guy will be getting an enclosure upgrade as soon as i figure out how to use the soldering iron i got to melt holes in his new enclosure lol.




And lastly my gbb taking down a big ass roach. She managed it fine since i crushed its head before hand. I hope nick sees these and it convinces him to get one!

horrible pic but had to share! its just amazing what these tiny little creatures can do!



I got to watch the whole thing! just amazing that spider is only about 1/2" and the web is a good 20" diameter. It took it less than 20 minutes from start to finish.

I did the Harmar house show in cheswick, PA today. overall it was a good day i'll have to get back on here later and tell ya'll about it. I've still got animals to finish putting away and cages to clean.

Awesome pickups Mike!

Damon, true spiders are amazing. Out in the woods at work, there are some huge webs. It's crazy how they can do such work.

So the Harmar House show...... The only other people that had bugs other than feeders were a few people that had some wc specimens. I did alright with the spiders. Had a lot of interest in them. I had a guy teach me exactly how to sex our scorpions. Also had someone explain how to sex T's from the epiandrous fusillae. Not 100% sure I completely understand but I had all of the larger irminia guessed correctly. lol Which I only have 1 left of and its a male. ok so the not so good part of the day. I was checking out an adult female boa to add to the collection. Had the owner and it behind my table. Another customer decided it would be ok to come back and goo over the 11 footer I was handling. I had all of my slings in shoe boxes stacked on the table. the boa looked in his direction, dude paniced jumped and knocked my slings over. I had one casualty. I lost a H. mac in the ordeal. I was pissed. the guy took off like a bat outta hell before I could even check on the slings. but I was not happy when I found the little guy squished on the lid. I had to stop one of the guys that had been hanging out at my table most of the day. soon as we found the poor little squished H. mac that guy was like "which way did he go? He's about to have an accident in the parking lot." other than that incident I had a good day. Sold a few snakes. sold quite a few spiders. I actually managed to behave and not make any purchases. The wife on the other hand....

Man that sucks. What a jack hole.

I have never even really tried to sex a spider without a molt. ( unless it dimorphic or hooked out etc. ) because I have seen people with tons of knowledge on tarantulas get it wrong. Maybe they just didn't know as much as they acted.

We are debating to do some of the local shows. That's awesome to hear that you are moving some!
I think I'm more of a undercover hoarder with a business front :p
I need to get in top of things and try to move some myself.

Check out this little guy. He hung out with me for a bit. Was really jumpy at first, thought he was going to get me.

Lmao! That's good undercover hoarder.

Man I'm telling you do the shows! Even if you don't sell much there hand out tons of business cards and get a big friggin sign to to promote you're business! In the past couple months I've landed 2 pet stores that place a couple small orders a month and my phone is ringing quite a bit from people saying hey I got your card from a buddy that met you at such and such show do have this? If nothing else its a good time, tax wright off, cheap advertising, and a great way to make new connections.

*edit hell if you want come throw your stuff on my tables ill hang a sign that says "Interstate Arachnid Co-Op" lol

Yep I said tables since adding Ts to my list of tricks I had to start getting an extra table. Lol
